Sunraysia Community Health Services will receive $23,000 as part of the State Government’s $5 million equipment fund for palliative care, giving services the tools they need to support people and carers to provide care at home.

The funding will provide a new car to enable staff to make home visits to patients who wish to spend their last days at home with their family, friends and loved ones.
